yarn-upgrade-all

This is a command line utility program to upgrade all the packages in your package.json to the latest version (potentially upgrading packages across major versions).

Installation

yarn add --dev yarn-upgrade-all

Usage

yarn yarn-upgrade-all

How does it work?

For every type of dependencies in package.json, run

yarn add [--dev|--peer] <package-names>`.

Additional options

You may pass additional options to the yarn add command:

yarn yarn-upgrade-all --option-1 --option-2

Which will invoke:

yarn add [--dev|--peer] <package-names> --option-1 --option-2

What if a package failed to install?

In that case, that package will be skipped and an error message will be printed.

You need to read the error message and manually install that package.

It is the recommended flow. Because if a package failed to install, most of the time, you need to manually troubleshoot the issue and fix the issue.

Ignore some packages

You can add the following to package.json file:

...
"yarn-upgrade-all": {
    "ignore": [
        "react"
    ]
}
...

With configuration above, yarn-upgrade-all won't upgrade react for you.

Local packages

Local packages are ignored if they start with file: or .:

"dependencies": {
  "foo": "file:../foo",
  "bar": "./some-local-lib/",
  "bar2": "../some-local-lib"
}

Installation globally

yarn global add yarn-upgrade-all

Installation on Windows

npm install -g yarn-upgrade-all

❗ Don't use yarn to install it on Windows because there is a bug: yarnpkg/yarn#2224.

Upgrade global packages

yarn-upgrade-all --global or yarn-upgrade-all -g
